The group migrated to the courtyard area were the jewel still rested. Kagome stood as far back as she could. Logically she knew that she was not in danger anymore but she just couldn't seem to bring herself to move closer. Kurama stood at her side holding her hand she felt much more calm having him there.

"We could have Koenma lock it up in the spirit world." Yusuke suggested.

"and chance Enma finding it… No thanks, Koenma may be alright but King Enma can be very power hungry." Shippo commented.

"Hn." Hiei grunted in agreement.

"The Miko will have to guard it." Sesshomaru said again as he looked at Kagome. Rin sighed next to him. She wished the others would understand that he was only trying to get Kagome over her fear in his own way. By forcing her to face it.

"She doesn't have to do anything." Kuwabara stated back. "She can hardly stand being in the room with the thing let alone asking her to carry it around."

Sesshomaru glared at Kuwabara again. Rin placed her hand on his arm hoping to calm him.

"SHE is right here." Kagomes commented. she hated it when people talked like she wasn't in the room.

Kurama gave her a smile. He knew she was scared but still she found the strength to handle what she needed to do. He gave her hand a squeeze as she continued to talk.

"I'll find a shine willing to take on both me and the jewel. That way I can get away from it when I feel the need to and it's still guarded at all times." She decided.

The others nodded it sounded reasonable enough of a solution. "Maybe Grandma would be willing. She took on Yukina after all. And she was already looking after the jewel when we found you." Yusuke suggested.

Kagome nodded at his suggestion. It was a good one. She would be happy living with Yukina. Kurama also liked the idea because she would be close by most of the time. He knew Genki would be capable of protecting her and the jewel too.

"let's go ask then." Kuwabara stated clearing the silence. Sesshomaru opened a portal for them and the guys stepped through.

Kurama noticed Kagome walk over to the jewel but was hesitant to pick it up. They had to take it with them, she knew this, it couldn't be left here. Kurama moved next to her placing a hand on hers. "I can carry it for you." He told her. As far as he was concerned her burdens were his burdens he would happily take them on.

Kagome shook hear head. "No, thank you, but no. I have to not let this fear control me anymore." She was very touched that he cared enough to help however this was just something she had to face. Picking up the jewel she gave a quick goodbye to Rin and Sesshomaru before stepping thought he portal after Kurama.

Rin smiled as the portal closed. Happy with the way everything was turning out. "So what do you think papa?" Rin asked using the name she was only allowed to use when they were alone.

Sesshomaru smirked before turning around intending to return to work. "He's definitely more honorable then Inuyasha."

Rin nodded trailing behind like she always had. "Speaking of what are we…"

Sesshomaru interrupted her before she could finish "this one has already taken care of it." He told her. Rin smiled and didn't ask him to elaborate. She knew he wouldn't any way. She would pester Jaken for a more clear answer later. When she did she would find out that Sesshomaru had transferred Inuyasha to the best of demon hospitals near the castle and was under the best medical care one could afford.

(Genki's)

Kurama and Kagome where the last to step out of the portal. Genki and Yukina where already talking to the others. Yukina was very happy to see Kagome in the flesh and not just a projection. She ran over and gave Kagome a large hug making Kagome laugh.

"So the dummy over their says you need a safe place to stay." Genki summed up.

"Only if it's not too much trouble, I can look for another shrine if you don't want…." Kagome was interrupted

"No its fine, Yukina could use some help. Besides with these numbskulls getting hurt all the time well need it. We can place the jewel behind a barrier in the inner shrine room." Kagome was very happy, Yukina was too she took Kagomes hand and pulled her into the shrine. First they put the jewel away Kagome placing a small sturdy barrier around it. Then Yukina showed her where her room would be.

"Yukina, you think the guys could take me to see my family sometime soon." She asked they were getting settled.

"I don't see why not." Yukina answered.

"You'll have to ask them a bit later." Genki said stepping into the room. "They wanted me to tell you that they were going to report into Koenma but would be back soon."

So Chapter 20 is here. The main plot is done; I have one more chapter for tying up some loose ends and fluff. I'm hoping to get it out later today or tomorrow.
